@Nippon1971 I'd like to see an olympic weightlifter back squat 800 lbs, bench press 700 lbs, and then pull 850 off the floor in the same day. Each athlete has their own specialties and to compare them is just plain stupid. It's like asking an all star football player to play soccer and vice versa.

@Siedlerdeo You are right, that much is obvious. My comment was directed at Nippon1971 who said:
"I'd like to see his so gifted squaters doing the real front ass to grass squat and see if they can manage to hit number like the olympic weightlifter do.."

@d00m33 But Olympic lifters train for C&J and Snatch....
-
@Nippon1971 These guys squat way more than olympic weight lifters do.

it's a different movement, its apples and oranges. each has some carry over to the other to a degree that I'm sure a power lifter could work into an awesome olympic squatter, and conversely a oly lifter could probably develop a great PL squat. both are awesome so do them both, might as well add another tool to the tool box.

Nippon is badmouthing WSB and Louie in each and every WSB video... get a life..

Nippon, its a box monolift/WPC style Squat.
Too bad Louie didn't show him how to do walked or IPF style Squat.

@chrischaos4 Can't reach some of these people sometimes LOL!

Louie might be a genius but this is not a squat. It's a back and forth coming out of outter space and God knows where half squat......
